Headed Downtown: A Briefing on BART and MUNI Service Updates (3/3/23)
While Downtown San Francisco is still struggling to recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic and rise of remote work, there are reasons to be hopeful that more professionals are now returning to offices and a diverse mix of activities can help revitalize the city’s economic core.

At this virtual briefing, the Bay Area Council heard about important new updates to BART and MUNI service that will make it faster, easier, and more comfortable to return to Downtown San Francisco, whether it’s for work or play. Speakers included: Alicia Trost, BART; Julie Kirschbaum, SFMTA; Emily Loper, Bay Area Council; Sujata Srivastava, SPUR; Chris Wright, Advance SF. This webinar was co-hosted by Bay Area Council, SPUR, Advance SF, and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

In this latest installment of the Bay Area Council’s Bay Area Impact webinar series presented by Venable LLP, we hear from leading water experts on the status of new water storage projects, why it’s taking so long and how we can speed them up, and what more can be done to increase the state’s storage capacity.

Introduction: Jim Wunderman, President & CEO, Bay Area Council Moderator: Adrian Covert, Senior Vice President, Public Policy, Bay Area Council
